King Tendulkar Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Looks like Sree is gonna be on best behaviour for 3rd test ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTTINGHAM, Aug 1: Admitting that he was embarrassed by his on-field behaviour during the second cricket Test against England at Trent Bridge, paceman S Sree Santh said he wanted to apologise to Michael Vaughan for the body barge incident. "To be honest, I’m embarrassed by what I did and I think I will have to change," Sree Santh said. "I want to say sorry for that (the Vaughan incident) but no one should question my commitment," said Sree Santh, who was fined 50 per cent of his match fee for the incident. "I am thankful to Rahul bhai (Dravid) for showing faith in me. He was upset with a few things, but after the game he came and told me when we were celebrating in the dressing room, 'Sree, after all this, after all the explanations I had to give for you, I still love you and want you to do well,’" Sree Santh told a channel. He said he did a few unwanted things during the second Test out of sheer frustration and wanted to make amends for that. "Frankly, that was the worst part, may be that’s the reason I did a few silly things when I should have continued bowling the basic stuff." However, Sree Santh said he did not hurl the beamer at Kevin Pietersen on purpose. Sree Santh, who has an interesting habit of writing letters to God before every game, said that he had hoped to play a crucial role in India’s victory. "Yes, I did write a letter to God before the fourth day of the Test. I wrote in that, 'Tomorrow I will win the Test match for my country. I will be the one, God please help me.’ But it didn’t go that way. Well, may be I didn’t write my name in the end and God thought it came from Zaheer bhai," he said. Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I love sree. He is a legend! Still say we should make him vice captain, lol Link to comment

So true. You can bet Prasad and Dravid will ask him to curb his aggression. This won't do Sreesanth any good, because if you take away his aggression he wouldn't be half the bowler he is. Chappell on the other hand, probably encouraged him to be aggressive, hence why he played so well under him. Let the kid do whatever he wants. Link to comment

Ram Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 There is a very thin line between being aggressive and looking like a fool. Sreesanth has just crossed that line. He has been like this before , and nobody complained. Only ,this match , he has gone over the top a bit. Link to comment
Lurker Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Good on Sree. I hope he takes a leaf out of this couplet from that great Hindi writer Ramdhari Singh Dinkar Kshama shobhati us bujang ko jiske paas garal ho Uska kya jo vishheen dantheen vineet saral lo. Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am all for these antics if Sree deserves it. Take a wicket or two and stare down the batsman all you want. Without the wickets, he will look desparate. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think srees beamer totally rattled KP and may have helped in dismissal and test victory. Good work sree keep it up but next time nail him please:D Link to comment
sandtest Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Why to apologise publicly?...he has been fined and apology will not reverse that. I hope "gentleman" posture of Dravid will not affect Sree's aggression! He should throw a few "accidental" beamers in next match....every team had done that, so why only we should behave like "sadhus". Link to comment
King Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I don't mind the aggression he displays even at times it is a little over kill. When you are young you don't want to given others an inch and I can see where Sree's coming from. I just hope he walks the talk otherwise the same fellas that like him for his aggression will call for his head. It is as simple as that. Link to comment
